We at RealEstateDealStreet.com get lots of enquiries from
out of Mumbai form India
and across the world that they need an apartment on short-term rental. Some of
these people need these apartments because of medical reason generally they
would visit Mumbai for cancer or fertility treatment where duration of
treatment is longer and some time NRI’s on long vacations to sort out their
personal issues like ancestral property dispute, fixing up marriage of their
children etc. In the case of medical reason there are lots of dietary
restrictions from doctors and some time due to long duration of treatment it is
very necessary to have home made food. These need various from couple of days
to couple of months.
In Mumbai nature of
real estate market and scarcity of housing makes life difficult for these
people. Being Lots of hospital situated in South Mumbai
make matter worst. One of man behind RealEstateDealStreet.com use to live in New York and think that New York is housing market is most difficult
but he has changed his perception / view after experiencing Mumbai housing real
estate. To have a quick transaction in Mumbai’s real estate market every thing
works against it whether it is law, legalities, management societies, high
capital value and top of that long chain of agents involved.
RealEstateDealStreet.com try’s at its level best to tackle
this problem/ menace by using its experience in real estate. Hear we would like
to view this problem of short term housing from all party involve, it is owners,
tenants, we are living brokers, because we think that they won’t agree to our
solution that for short term rental is not their forte and for all these type
of request they should refer RealEstateDealStreet.com instead of wasting their
time, tenants and owners time.
Let’s take look at
Tenant view /
Perception:-
Generally prospective tenants have no idea of Mumbai Housing
/ Real Estate. People who come from any part of the world for medical help in
Mumbai are most probably affluent in their city. They live in big houses rather
bungalows and think that they will be able to afford same luxury in Mumbai and
when realities bits and they relies that forget to get bungalows here owner are
even wary to renting their very mediocre flats also for short term, and pulls (sorry! we meant connections, in
India we relay on connection and call them pull:) doesn’t work Their pride take
a knock. Same time RealEstateDealStreet.com agrees that it is big shock for
them and bit difficult to adjust to this type of life style change. From
somebody to nobody! Stress of sickness of their close one make matter worst. They
think that people rather owners are not human and rent they ask is like asking
their own share in the pond of flash.
Owner’s View/
Perception: -. Owners are wary of giving their houses to one individual due
to fear of in case of not vacating and not timely payment of rent. They are bit
wary of having some one sick at their place because tenants will have lots of visitors
and that will create mess and their furniture will get spoiled. Owner don’t
want to rent their property on short term rental because they don’t want to go
through rig marole / process of tenant hunting again and again because of rule
of societies, legal hassle etc.
Suggestion by
RealEstateDealStreet.com
RealEstateDealStreet.com tries its best to see this
situation objectively and some suggestion for only two parties, owners and
tenants. If few things people looking for
short term rental keep in mind then their house hunting will
be not so tough. Tenants should always keep in mind that they are entering in
most difficult housing market of the world. Tenants tend to value their money
more then it should be in any market place every rupee has same value. In
Mumbai’s real estate market for tenants it is survival of weakest then fittest,
the more you assert your powers, knowledge, connections, arrogance or not
polite behavior the more it will be difficult to find a place. In Mumbai property
owners are very wary of tough people. One should be all time considerate to
owners views. By being polite and curtsies never hurts. Money is dear to every
body and we Indian have the habit of negotiating, that is fine but we should
also know where to draw the line and negotiating should not convert in argument
or haggle. It makes owners uncomfortable, they start doubting creditability of
opposite party, but same time you should not pay some thing more then fair
value of the place. Some time tenants don’t put their requirement clearly ultimately
that waste their time. Clearly mention that these are bare minimum you expect
from the place and these things will be nice to have. Owners should also
realize that
Few Quick Tips:-
For 1 day to 7 Day’s
stay :-If you are looking for flat, for 1 day to 7 day’s you should try
your relatives only or sanatoriums,
hotels and service apartments. You have only 5% probabilities to get some thing
even through RealEstateDealStreet.com
7 Day’s to 15 Day’s stay:-
Try all options given above and you may try
RealEstateDealStreet.com but probability to rent a flat is around 15% and for
renting of room / paying guest accommodation it goes up to 35%
15 Day‘s to 1month
stay:-
Hear probability increases to 25% for flat
and 50% for PG or room
1 month to 3 / 6
Months stay:-
Hear probability increases to more then 70% for flat and you
almost hit the upper cap of 100% / roof for PG
Housing Swap: - Housing
swap in Mumbai is not possible because big disparity in rents of other part of
the India
or World visas a visa / compare to Mumbai.
Brokerage:- In
Mumbai commission of real estate broker is minimum one month rent and it can go
up to two month rent, that is why RealEstateDealStreet.com most suitable for
short term rental because its charges fixed fee of Rs.2000/- or 50$.This
brokerage fee charged by brokers is biggest hurdle in finding any place and
RealEstateDealStreet.com having fixed fee doesn’t have inclination to increase
the rent to get higher commission.
Credibility: -
Credibility has maximum premium in Mumbai’s real estate market, tenants should
demonstrate that by giving good references, through this tool they can get the
place which otherwise would have not possible.
Paying Guest (PG) Accommodation:
- In some of paying guest accommodations you get cooking or home made food
facility. If you are couple of people and don’t expect visitors then you should
consider this option which is cheaper and you get access to thing which any
running house has.
Commuting distance:-
People from small city wants their flat should be near to hospital where they
have to visit regularly because they are not used to travel. If one bit open to
travel he/ she will get more options / choices and when you are in city only
for treatment then you have ample to time so you shouldn’t rigid about the
distance, unless its is suggested by docter. People who are not from India think
that it will be very expensive to travel by cab and at times you might not get
cab at all. That both things true in European countries or America, just to
give you some perspective that New York and Mumbai has lots of similarities
logistically, culturally, geographically and Ney York has around 12000 Cabs and
Mumbai has more then 60,000/- cab and these are not expensive even if they take
you for little ride, which seldom happens.
Market Realties: - In
any market where two parties transact it is never that either of parties decide
price but is it market which decide price. One should understand market
realties of Mumbai’s real estate market and conduct accordingly. It is business
deal for both parties and owners are not here for charities.
Fast Decision:- Some
time RealEstateDealStreet.com seen that people take so long to take decision
that by the time they decide for some thing that some thing is no more in the
market or even if they get it they couldn’t benefited by its full potential. It
is matter of couple of months not of life so one should be quick.
